I'm in the same boat; I haven't even received acomplete notice from NYU. Unfortunately, I think you're at the cusp, and it appears that NYU over-admitted in the beginning of the season and has run out of room. They've been shooting out Rejects recently. Here's hoping for a round of admits this week... I think that you should wait a few more days (mail really should be coming Any Day Now) call Northeastern and ask for an extension, and politely remind them that playing hardball with you is unethical and obnoxious. Also, I don't think the NE scholarship is worth passing up Cornell and UCH (adn who knows what else will come through.)
I got dinged BC. WL is rejection with a bit of bonus hassle. Anyway, I just yesterday erased my rationale blurb for my profile. Basically I picked schools on whims, briefly considering tuition, application fee, application complexity, geography, friends' and parents' suggestions. The whole process was mostly a "let's see what happens" thing for me; I can stay at my current job till my head falls off (which might not be a long way off...)
Oh hey congrats on Cornell! It's a nice place, if a little quiet and cold.
Who are the people that can help me write a letter to admissions? What service is it? Thanks for the advice!
I'm choosing pretty set on UPenn over Cornell because I want to go into tax law. Cornell has 2 classes- whereas UPenn offered 9 last year. I would have to think about transfering if I decided on Cornell and decided to pursue tax law. Maybe I'll see you at UPenn in the fall!
In California there is something at the community colleges called "academic renewal." Sounds cool huh? Well it is! If you fail a class, then get 3 cosecutive semesters of 3.0 average or better, and THEN repeat the class, they will delete the "F" or "D" from the calculation of your cumulative GPA (but not erase the F). I started community college when I was 16 after dropping out of high school, and proceeded to almost completely flunk my first year. But, I reformed my delinquent ways and improved my GPA by leaps and bounds in the following years. Sadly, the LSAC recalculated those F's back into my grade, and thus, I get a 3.46. Lame.
i know exactly how you feel about NYU, i've been doing the same thing! we have similar numbers, but yours are a bit higher... i wish someone could tell me too! good luck!
